Tile repair at your home in The Stocks

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in The Stocks

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for The Stocks

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including The Stocks and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How much does tile repair cost in The Stocks?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SN12 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What affects the price in The Stocks

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Stocks

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
